I don't think that is at all unfashionable!
Angular case, black dial, baton indices, could be a number of modern models!
Rather like it actually.

Does that bottom dial alter the functions, timer, stopwatch, etc?
My eyesight isn't good enough to read it.

Yes, this was my first posh watch too!
Early 90s, I think........
It is a 'library pic' but still worn a lot. Can't "beat" it for accuracy!

Having been saving for a U1 for some time, a bit of luck and a change of mind by both Downer and myself has brought this stunner my way.
I took it for a day out to the beach today ! I am well impressed. Thanks again Richard.
